It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

That’s the tune that started going through my head as browsed my local candy store (er, beverage center) for some great beers for the holidays. I have been thrilled with how the store continues to expand the craft and imported beer section. (sometimes I think that with the amount of money I spend there, they are expanding it just for me) This is by far the best selection in the area and the owner and employees are all great, friendly and helpful.

I also had my new phone with me and I thought I might be able to find a good use for having a camera on a cell phone. Now you get to join me on my shopping trip…

Look at this rack of goodness!

I’m not sure what all this stuff is, but it is unique and promotes the love of beer, so it’s all good.

Here are the imports. (I wasn’t drinking, I swear.)

Interesting stuff… Otter Creek’s Winter Ale and Paulaner hefe-kegs. (and enough Bud to float a yacht)

MMMMmmmmmm… Double Bastard Ale!

My wife loves those brown ales and her latest favorite from Ithica is all out! (which reminds me, I need to blog about our weekend in the Finger Lakes)

Michalob Ultra from New York…? I don’t think so…

This is new here… Hop Hazzard, oh, I’ve got to try that!

He said he would do it and it is finally here! Brown’s in bottles!

Get ‘em before they are banned!

I’ll take one of those… and one of those… (bonus to anyone who can figure out what I bought - but it will be tough because I reduced these photos)

 There’s more selection than this, too. I’ll have to do this again.
